Joe Pug (born Pugliese), like the dog his name evokes, is tiny but mighty. The singer-songwriter brings a tough attitude from his native Chicago to the sometimes tender folk-rock style he plays. Though he's not even thirty years old, Pug has opened up for folk giants like Josh Ritter and the mighty Steve Earle. His set at The Ark theater in Ann Arbor last spring is already the stuff of internet legend. Now, fresh out of a short stay in Austin, Pug is bringing his acoustic attack to Toledo.
If that doesn't sell you, visit his website: www.joepugmusic.com. Many of Pug's EP's are available for free download there. 8pm. $5. The Village Idiot, 309 Conant St., Maumee. 419-893-7281. www.villageidiotmaumee.com. —JS
